[Time Left: 57 sec]

With already losing 3 seconds, I didn't dally any longer and rushed towards my wardrobe and wore a Black Track Suit and a pair of running shoes.

It might have broken my personal record in the aspect of a quick change of clothes.

While hurrying, I picked my mini trekking bag that was on the top right corner of my wardrobe, and I turned my attention towards the countdown notification.

[Time Left: 32 sec]

As I didn't have a lot of time, I moved as fast as possible and slipped two pairs of clothes, a pair of boxing wraps into my bag and ran towards the kitchen.

There I grabbed a few high calories packed food items and stuffed them in my bag along with a nearby Kitchen knife.

When I thought I had prepared enough, I once again looked back at the countdown notification.

[Time Left: 9 sec]

During these last 9 seconds, out of instinct, I tied my hair, which reached the bottom of my nape into a man bun.

Then a sudden realisation about the information in the notifications hit me because if it was really true, then It might not be possible for me to return to earth for another 18 months.

With me living alone if my parents and siblings don't hear from me for several days they would be worried.

But if that continues for 18 months, they would freak out and might even think I was kidnapped or killed.

So, intending to send a message to them, I rushed towards my bedroom for my phone that was on the bedside table, while carrying the mini trekking bag on my back.

While running towards my bed, I shouted, "Hey Siri, Send a voice message to Kay!".

By the time I reached near it, the iPhone screen had brightened up, and an animated Siri Orb appeared along with a message that showed, "OK, recording...".

I didn't make a normal phone call because it was midnight and it would take a few seconds before my younger triplet brother 'Kay 'could pick up my call.

Once the recording started, I started speaking in a serious tone at the fastest pace I could muster up, "Kay, listen to me carefully, I might not be reachable for the next 18 months for the reason that I couldn't explain right now and tell dad, mom and our sister that I went to some long overseas business tour or something like that or they would be worried sick. Ok, bye!"

After that, I stopped speaking, and in a second, ‌Siri‌ displayed a waveform of the recording on the screen along with options to Send, Cancel, and a play button to play it back to myself.

Just as I tapped the send option on the screen at my fastest speed, I vanished from the spot where I stood as my phone fell back on the top of my bedside table.

In the next moment, I appeared in a dense forest, and with the utmost difficulty, I suppressed my urge to vomit from the teleportation.

I looked around myself, and within my vicinity, I found no living being.

In the first few seconds, I got agitated for getting teleported to an unknown forest terrain in God knows where but as I calmed down, I was actually glad that I prepared myself, instead of ignoring the notifications.

The forest around me was oak-brown and primitive. I was in awe of the size and majesty of the trees around me because the average height of the surrounding trees was at 20 meters and an average width of 4 meters.

After a few seconds of puzzlement that I received from the besieging view around me, I recovered quickly and ran towards an enormous tree that had a tree burrow with a diameter of 1 meter.

I carefully checked if any other creatures were inside the tree burrow and sighed a breath of relief after not finding any signs of beings.

But, what surprised me was the space that was pretty large for a burrow.

I entered it and even with me being at 6 feet tall, I had to stand on my toes while stretching my hand vertically to touch the top of the burrow space, and its width was 3 meters.

I quickly went outside while crouching and harvested a few nearby bushes and covered the burrow entrance while moving inside.

It was dark since I covered the entrance, but that was not my primary concern.

I sat down and collected my thoughts together about those notifications and summarised it shortly within my mind.

An entity called 'System' is assimilating Earth with the rest of the unknown Universe.

For that purpose, the system requires data from individuals with the Highest potential Innate Abilities. I didn't know what those Innate Abilities were.

Even among the 3 Sub-Programs of Trial Program, the ALPHA program was the first to start.

That means only 11 Chosen got teleported into this Trial Zone. Only after three months will another 100 individuals get selected for the BETA Program to enter the Trial zone.

Since I couldn't discover any of the remaining 10 Alpha Chosen near me, they must have gotten teleported randomly within the Trial Zone.

I tried to communicate with this so-called 'System' but only met with awkward silence.

After that, I mumbled to myself, "If I have to survive, only hiding is not good in the overall view since I don't know how long I had to stay in this place."

So, I decided to find a water source and food alternates, and while I was thinking, something on the top left of my vision caught my attention.

[ALPHA Program, Day - 1, Time - 00:12:47]

It showed the time since I teleported to Trial Zone and found a letter 'S' to my vision's top right.

I concentrated on it, and a notification tab appeared abruptly in front of me.
